How anyone could believe Mexican beauty Salma Heyek was deformed is probably beyond most online bingo players, but it’s true.
The diminutive star of Ugly Betty has revealed that her lack of height was considered a deformity in her native Mexico where the ideal of beauty centred round tall, blonde and blue-eyed stereotypes. A pregnant Hayek says comments that her 5’ 2’’ height constituted a deformity really used to trouble her.
However, shorties can take heart that Ms Hayek went on to capture a stunning acting career in Hollywood where she made a name for herself not only as a leading lady, but as a film producer in her own right.
